Will there be a 24 marathon?

Anyone know if there will be a 24 hour 24 marathon on FX like last year? I didn't make it through last time but I'd try again. Maybe I'll just smoke a big bag of crack before it starts.

FX did it over labor day weekend last year so I imagine they'll start running commercials for it soon if they are going to do it again.

24 with commercials: 24 hours. 24 without commercials: @16 hours. DVD is a great thing.

I'd love to see an entire weekend of 24 with the first season one day leading right into season 2. That would be cool, but I agree with Michael Corvin that I would much rather watch it on dvd. Better picture and sound plus no commercials=

Yeah, it's better on DVD, but remember that the marathon isn't for people who already are fans of the show. It's done to spur interest for the next season (since it's practically impossible to show repeats in the "off season", and to convince people to buy the DVD's (my friend watched part of the marathon, and then had to go buy the DVD's to see how it ended.)

Yes they will
http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/hits/24.html
but it will only be season 2, so buy season 1 now, and watch marathon on labor day
no word if abc family will do a alias marrathon, but hopefully they will soon since I missed all of season 1 and the begining of season 2 abc is showing episodes out of order so that'll only get confusing.

Or wait a week after labor day and get 24: Season 2 on dvd. On the 9th. Then have your marathon before season 3 starts on the 28th of Oct.

Watched 24 on TV, the marathon and twice on DVD. Hope to do the same for season 2.

If I knew ahead of time they would be doing season 3 next year, I might wait until then to watch it.
